Your brain is firing off signals on a thousand different frequencies simultaneously. You settle in to meditate, your eyes shut-and within four seconds, you're mentally drafting that one work email you forgot to send from early 2019. Sound familiar?

Not the theme-park chaos of an ADHD mind. The notion of emptying the mind…like you, that's simply not realistic (think about it-you can tell someone to "just breathe," right?). And guilt-tripping yourself when your thoughts inevitably wander is only adding insult to injury in an already frustrating moment.
